What are the characteristics of Chinese phonetic structure and its influence on language formation?

1. Every syllable in Chinese has a tone, even if Chinese has two vowels (good H m 40) or three vowels (teaching), it is a syllable.

2. Consonants are mainly voiced consonants. There are only m, l and r voiced consonants, and there are no complex consonants. In a syllable, no matter at the beginning or the end, there will be no phenomenon that two or three consonants are connected together. Therefore, Chinese syllable sounds come first and rhyme comes last, and consonants only appear at the beginning and end of syllables. Syllables are clearly defined and their structural forms are relatively neat.

3. Vowel is the core of Chinese syllable structure. There are 2 1 initials and 39 finals in modern Chinese homophones. According to the combination of Chinese syllables, there can be no consonants in Chinese syllables, but no vowels. A syllable can be composed of only one single vowel or only one complex vowel, and at the same time, there will be more syllables composed of complex vowels.

Vowels belong to music and consonants belong to noise. Modern Chinese is dominated by unvoiced consonants, and the vocal cords of unvoiced consonants do not vibrate, so there is less noise and more music in syllables.
